does the EK-KIT S240 work with msi m5? Ek claims it does not but i dont see a reason why not it is supported with msi m3 and m7 z170 boards does anyone have any thought on why? was it a mistake and it actually does support the m5? Because i have the m5 and wanted to get this kit i will be really upset with ek if its not supported

(yes ik this is my second post) within researching a water cooling kit i really like ek s240 but they dont say that my motherboard is supported yet they support the m7 and m3 z170 msi boards, there cant be a drastic difference between these three as they were all built as predecessors to the one before, it goes msi m3, msi m5 and msi m7 i have the m5 and want to buy this kit, do you think it would work despite what ek says?

That is the slim series kit and uses an EKWB supremacy MX block, which is compatible with all of AMD's and Intel's sockets.

It's an Intel 115X motherboard so the mounting is standardized, it will work with the MX block that is part of that kit.

It doesn't have to, it says it's supported with LGA1151 which your motherboard is. 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

Yeah, all motherboard made now for AMD and Intel all have standardised mounting holes, with a couple really specialised exceptions. 

Yours faithfully
